Three companies. One job.

I built each of these to do one part of the same thing. Help a good service business get found, and help it stay worth finding once it is.

Most businesses that lose do not lose on quality. They lose on visibility, or they lose on trust, and usually they never find out which. These three companies each take one of those problems.

I lead the strategy and the creative. The teams inside each company run the day to day work, to the standard I set behind the camera for eighteen years.

Search stopped being ten blue links. A customer looking for a plumber, a dentist, or a pool company now gets a map with three businesses on it, and increasingly gets a straight answer from ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity that names two or three companies and skips everyone else.

Spearleaf gets a business into those three slots and into those answers. That means the Google Business Profile, the local pages, the citations, the schema, and the content that gives an AI model something specific to repeat about you. Google publishes what actually feeds local ranking, and most of it is unglamorous work that nobody wants to do properly.

The offer is the Rankings-to-Revenue System. There is a measured example of the output further down this page.

Five hundred dollars if the review comes down. Nothing at all if it does not.

I built this one because I needed it. I spent years with an unfair one star review sitting on a studio I had poured my life into, watching it drag an otherwise excellent rating, knowing that every prospective client read it. There is no version of that experience that is not personal.

The honest part nobody says out loud: a review does not come down because you are annoyed by it. It comes down because it violates a policy. Google publishes the prohibited and restricted content rules that actually govern this, and the work is establishing which rule a given review breaks and making that case properly. Some reviews qualify. Plenty do not. Charging only on the result is how we stay honest about which is which.

A headshots-only studio in the McGregor and River District corridor of Fort Myers, photographing professionals across Southwest Florida. Five hundred dollars for the session, one hundred and fifty per retouched image.

This is the original craft. Eighteen years, fifteen thousand professionals, three million images, and a studio that spent seventeen of those years in Chicago as one of the top ten rated in the United States before it moved south in 2024.

It is also where the idea for the other two came from. Being the top rated headshot studio in Chicago was not a vanity metric. It was the entire lead engine, and it worked because people could find the studio and could trust it in the same thirty seconds.

Spearleaf's measured result on JA Headshots.

This is Spearleaf's work on JA Headshots, which happens to be a client I own. A geo-grid scan places a virtual searcher at every point on a grid and records where the business actually ranks from each one, which is a truer picture than a single rank check from one location. Every figure below is from one dated scan, and the method is printed with it so you can judge the number rather than take it.

Common questions about the three companies

Does Joshua Albanese do the work himself?
He leads the strategy and the creative direction as a fractional CMO. The day to day work is done by the teams inside each company, and enquiries go to whichever one fits.
How much does Spearleaf cost?
Pricing depends on the market and the amount of ground to make up, so it is quoted per business. The Spearleaf site is the right place to start that conversation.
What happens if The Reputation cannot remove my review?
You pay nothing. The fee is five hundred dollars only if the review is removed. Not every review qualifies, because removal depends on the review breaking one of Google's published content policies rather than simply being unfair.
Can I book a headshot with Joshua directly?
Sessions are booked through JA Headshots. The studio is in Fort Myers and photographs clients across Southwest Florida, typically booking one to two weeks out.

Not sure which company fits your business?

Describe the problem and I will point you at the right company, or tell you honestly if none of them is the answer.
